The new racing car, kind of.

Picked this up a few weeks ago and I am back at home again so got a chance to roll it out of the garage and give it a blast up the road. Can't wait to get out to Snetterton on the 6th

Anyone else on here going up there?

You need to loose the is spoiler off the front, and replace with a standard lip spoiler

You'll be quids in as an is spoiler goes for a premium

Yea, I know that. I am just not 100% sure what the standard one looks like

or even a part number?

I have one here if you want it.Its like an inch thick ill do straight swap for your one

Post Tue Feb 16, 2010 11:20 pm

Is this for the PBMW championship? If it is, is it a 318i or 320i?

Post Tue Feb 16, 2010 11:23 pm

It is for the PBMWC, and its a 320i.

I have no idea what mine is worth either, its a bit scratched on the bottom from bottoming out, but no splits. Anyone got a general idea?

Hi, I'm racing a 318is in TTRS, can do a swap at Brands for a standard one + £30. Your spoiler (if it is an original) will likely sell from £30 to £60 on ebay depending on interest.

Cheers
Brian

Hey. I am not sure I will be at brands for the first round yet so I don't want to make any promises. But I should know by soon if you are sill interested in the swap, Brian?

I have someone interested in a swap, could do it at Snet if Brian doesn't take it?

Post Mon Mar 01, 2010 4:52 pm

Hi Mac, I'm planning to do all TTRS rounds so can just do a swap over with beer tokens for you whenever we hook up (sorry Jimmy), they are simple clip on/off. I want to paint it a lairy colour to try and make my TTRS E30 look a bit different from the PBMW E30s so I might get a bit of blue flag help from the marshalls and PBMW drivers will recognise it. At the Meldrew where there were a load of E30s it was difficult to overtake safely in quali and racing as other drivers thought I was one of the PBMW cars so didn't make it easy (which is fair enough) and the marshalls couldn't tell it apart for blue flagging.

Thats your excuse huh Brian?

Post Mon Mar 01, 2010 5:17 pm

Just one of many, TTRS is a move to the excuse premier division and I've had six months to think of a few decent ones.

Whatever you do, make sure the car has a few faults, as it sure as hell couldn't be the drivers fault.

When are you chaps at Coombe then?

Post Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:10 pm

I just took the splitter off a couple of days ago and it looks like a couple of the clips are broken, as in the little plastic hoops are split. I might just wait until I meet someone at Snet, just so they can see what they are getting, rather than someone being pissed off that some of the clips are broken!

I'm happy to pay for it whatever, but up to you. "Car was handling fantastic, I just made a complete mess of braking for the corner" quote from the book of things drivers never say Jon

. Got Thruxton on the calender as well, so a couple of local gigs. Thruxton 8th May, Combe either 31st July or 1st Aug, can't remember which is TTRS and which is PBMW.
Cheers
